4. The Recent Project Activities

• CD22009 was reexamined and revised to incorporate new recommendations described in recent ISO TC20/SC14/WG4 Meeting Resolutions.
• The comparisons of the model calculations with the Large Magnetosphere Magnetic Field Data Base (Faierfield, Tsyganenko, et al., Journal of Geophysical Research, V.11, p.11319-11326, 1994) was made (see Appendix, Sec. 1).
• The cross-comparison was made between paraboloid, T96, T01 and event-oriented models during specific events.

• The detailed comparison of the model calculations with Dst and spacecraft's observations on Polar, Geotail, Goes (8,9,10), and DMSP spacecrafts was made during numerous events in association with researchers from MSU, IZMIRAN, SPb University, Russia; University of Michigan, JPL, UCLA, NOAA, USA; FMI, Finland; Alfven Laboratory, KTH, Sweden; Tel Aviv University, Israel; Istituto de Pesquisas Especiais, Brazil; Geophys. Inst., Slovakia

• The Working Draft of Project have been sent to the scientists and specialists interested in the subject from 11 countries. The Authors' Version and Working Draft of Project have been refereed and corrected by the scientists and specialists from the

  • France (Daniel M. Boscher, ONERA-CERT/DESP)
  • Japan (Hiroshi Suzuki, Yukihito Kitazawa (Ishikawajima-Harima Heavy Industries Co., Ltd.), Prof. T. Iemori (Kyoto University))
  • Russia (Dr. Alexandr Schevurev (STC "Kosmos") and Dr. V.P. Nikitskiy (RS Corp. Energiya"))
• The magnetic field of the Region 1 field aligned current system is included in the draft model.
• The Web site of the Project has been created (http://www.magnetosphere.ru/iso/)
• The project "SPACE ENVIRONMENT (NATURAL AND ARTIFICIAL). MODEL OF THE EARTH'S MAGNETOSPHERIC MAGNETIC FIELD." has been discussed and approved at the recent Meetings of WG4.

  • In accordance with resolution, taken at the plenary meeting of TC20/SC14/WG4 in Brazil, and with request made by James E. French (Secretary of ISO TC20/SC14), the Approved Work Item (AWI) "Space systems - Space environment - Model of the Earth's magnetospheric magnetic field" has been registered with the ISO Central Secretariat and given the number 22009.
  • In accordance with resolution 122, taken at the plenary meeting of TC20/SC14/WG4 in Tolouse (October, 2001) the current draft standard was examined and revised to incorporate new content and format as described in resolution 114 of the Meeting.
  • At the plenary meeting of TC20/SC14/WG4 in Noordwijk, Netherlands (May, 2002) the experts of WG4 confirm the necessity of involving th IAGA experts in the comparative analysis of existing magnetic field models.
• During IAGA-IASPEI Joint Assembly in Hanoi, Vietnam (August, 2001) it was approved that the evaluation of the the ISO magnetospheric model is in the field of interest of the WG 3 of Division V of IAGA. It was decided to create the scientific subcommittee of the Division V Working Group 3 of International Association Geomagnetism and Aeronomy for the examination of the ISO magnetospheric model. Dr. I. Alexeev (head of the MSU group elaborating the paraboloid model) is working now within this subcommittee.
